Helped: Chucking simple projects into Gemini for speed and productivity.
Got in the way: Users remain clueless about what actually happened in the code.
… Models theoretically inform you about what they did, why they did it (albeit, largely by using blanket terms and/or phrases unintelligible to the average 'vibe coder') but I feel like most people ignore that completely, and those who don't wouldn't need to use a LLM to code an entirety of an app regardless. Still, for very simple projects I use at work just chucking something into Gemini and letting it work on it is oftentimes faster and more productive than doing it manually. Plus, if the user is interested in it, it can be used as a relatively good learning tool.
